Dear Coach Wendt:

I owe you an apolozy for not answering your first
letter. I do not want you to think that I am a fellew
who fails to acknowledge communications.

For a great number of years I was very active in
the Basketball Coaches Association, and wes and em now
tremendously interested in the welfare of the game. How~
ever, there is a certain group who seem to speak for the
Coaches Association at the present time that I camot go
along with. I was named chairman of the Basketball Rules
Committee of the Coaches Association without my knowledge.
As soon as I received notification I told them that I did
not care to serve.

I will not be present at New Orleans, and rogret

that under the conditions I am not greatly interested in
the way the determining members are handling the situation.

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Phystal Education and Recreation,
PCAsAH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
